Vice President Kamala Harris coated subjects from reparations to the border in her high-profile interview with Charlamagne Tha God Tuesday.
The audio city corridor aired on iHeartRadio with the “Breakfast Club” radio present co-host for a full hour, with questions from listeners.
Scripted Speaking Factors
Off the bat, Charlamagne remarked on individuals criticizing Harris for sounding “very scripted” in interviews and rallies, which Harris referred to as “discipline.”
“Some people say you have an inability to fearlessly say who you are and what you believe,” Charlamagne mentioned. “What do you say to people who say you stay on talking points?”
“I would say, ‘You’re welcome,'” Harris answered. “I mean, listen, here’s the thing. I love having conversations, which is why I’m so happy to be with you this afternoon. And the reality is that there are certain things that must be repeated to ensure that I have everyone know what I stand for and the issues that I think are at stake in this election. And so, it requires repetition.”

“You know, some people say that until someone has heard the same thing at least three times, it just doesn’t stay with you,” Harris continued. “So repetition is important. And for that reason, yes, at my rallies I say the same thing when I go to Detroit as I do in Philly, as I do wherever I am, to make sure that people hear and receive what I think are some of the most critical issues that are at stake in this election.”
Marijuana Costs
Afterward, Charlamagne introduced up Harris’ file because the San Francisco District Lawyer, calling reviews of her imprisoning hundreds of Black males on drug prices “misinformation.”
“One of the biggest pieces of misinformation, one of the biggest allegations against you is that you targeted and locked up thousands of Black men in San Francisco,” Charlamagne mentioned. “Some say you did it to boost your career. Some say you did it out of pure hate for Black men. Please tell us the facts.”
“It’s just simply not true,” Harris mentioned. “And public defenders who’re around those days will tell you I was the most progressive prosecutor in California on marijuana cases and would not send people to jail for simple possession of weed and as vice president have been a champion for bringing marijuana down on the schedule.”
Although Harris has since supported decriminalizing marijuana use, as district legal professional, she oversaw almost 2000 convictions on marijuana-related prices.

Reparations
Because the present continued, Harris took questions from callers, together with one who requested about her stance on reparations for slavery.
“I am running to be a president for all Americans. That being said, I do have clear eyes about the disparities that exist and the context in which they exist, meaning history, to your point. So my agenda, well, first of all, on the point of reparations, it has to be studied. There’s no question about that. And I’ve been very clear about that position in terms of my immediate plan,” Harris answered.
The Border
Charlemagne later pressed Harris about her file on the border, a problem he’s introduced up a number of instances.
“Doesn’t the Biden administration have to take some blame for the border? A lot of the blame, because, I mean, the first three years, you did get a lot of things wrong with the border,” Charlamagne mentioned.
Harris answered, “No, Charlamagne. Within hours of being inaugurated, the first bill we passed before we did the Inflation Reduction Act, before we did the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, before we did the Safer Communities Act to deal with gun violence. The first thing we dropped was a bill to fix the broken immigration system, which, by the way, Trump did not fix when he was president.”
